Zendaya’s empire hit turbulence: Here’s what nearly went wrong

Zendaya remains one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars but even her projects haven’t been immune to turbulence.

Euphoria Season 3 faced uncertainty after “disparate visions” for the story forced rewrites, with reports suggesting no one at HBO was entirely sure the season would come together at one stage.

The drama also battled schedulingt chaos as cast members accepted major film roles, complicating production timelines.

At one point, fans worried the show might never arrive after a years-long gap, though HBO ultimately confirmed it was still moving into production.

And the juggling act isn’t ending anytime soon. Zendaya is expected to balance the series with high-profile films including a potential fourth Spider Man while industry leaders insist the show is “very much on track.”

Now slated for a Spring 2026 return, the long-awaited season signals survival rather than collapse but the rocky journey proves that even Hollywood’s brightest star can’t escape production storms.
